Though stumps can still be left on the ground following tree removal, leaving them there can sometimes be problematic. The stumps are not only unsightly, they can also cause problems for future landscaping projects. There is also the possibility of the stump forming new shoots and possibly spreading root diseases like honey fungus.
Tree stumps are removed by either using hand tools or, more commonly, by using mechanical machinery, such as a stump grinder.
When a tree is being felled, it makes economic sense to pay a little bit extra to have the stump removed at the same time. Stumps can be quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully remove them.
What Is Included In A Stump Removal And Grinding Service?
The stump removal experts use high-powered, advanced stump grinders to grind down your tree stump, regardless of its size, with minimal ground disturbance. The machine can cut both above ground and underground, meaning that the stump is removed with the least amount of disturbance to the surrounding landscape.
The tree stump is ground to around 300 mm beneath the surface of the ground. This allows for ground preparation or replanting.
Once the stump is gone, the team can fill the remaining hole with a combination of the wood chippings and dirt. When the hole has been filled in, the ground will be levelled so that you can grass it if you like. Or perhaps you’d like a brand new tree to be planted in that newly created hole.
It is easy to add the remnants of your tree stump to your compost or to turn it into mulch. This will help your garden plants, whether you want to fertilise, enhance the texture, or retain water by adding mulch around some of your plant varieties.
How Long Does The Tree Stump Removal Process Take?
It may take up to 15 – 30 minutes to remove a small stump, while larger ones can require an hour or longer to completely cut through, dig out and grind to a pulp.

What Are Some Of The Risks Associated With Leaving A Stump Behind And When Should You Remove It?
A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. The stump can also cause a liability problem. You could be held liable if someone injures themselves after tripping over the stump.
It is important to note that a tree stump left behind after removal does not mean the growth process has ended Stumps in the ground can grow new shoots at the base of the stump during the growing seasons, making them appear even more unsightly. The roots of some trees will continue growing even after the tree was cut down. These roots can spread silently toward your foundation and cause cracks. They may also interfere with water lines, underground cables, or a sewer tank.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are anything but. Tree stumps are a breeding ground for termites, ants, wood-boring beetles and other insects, which could quickly lead to an infestation. This could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
Estate agents say that curb appeal has a 10% to more impact on the market price of a house. If you are selling your house, a visible stump could affect your ability to achieve the price that you desire.
